Decidedly Christian. Distinctively Classical.

The Logic School

7th - 9th Grade

Thinking Critically About The World Around Them

The Logic School encourages students to live a Christ-honoring life while challenging them to think critically about the world around them. As they strengthen their ability to analyze, discuss, and debate ideas, they also learn the value of making authentic connections and discerning truth. Each subject is designed to continually point students to Christ and virtue through the class content and the discipleship of the teacher. The Logic School is committed to nurturing students’ potential and spurring them on toward greater academic, emotional, and spiritual independence.

What Live Oak Means To Our Community
While putting my 4 year old child to bed we normally sing songs as he drifts off to sleep that are gospel or hymnal songs. After three months of being a Junior Kindergarten student at Live Oak, my son informed me that tonight he wanted me to sing a new song. I asked him what song, and he replied, “Sing the Doxology, Dad.” He then sang the song for me, and in that moment my heart was touched as I realized the everlasting qualities Live Oak was assisting me as a parent through planting the seeds of songs to God that will carry with my son for a lifetime. This is only one story, and I must say that my heart is touched, changed, and blessed beyond measure by Live Oak through the overflow of my child’s education but even more by his deepening love for our Savior Jesus Christ.
